Volunteer Program

Foster Program

Our Foster Care Program asks community members to open their doors to our animals who need some TLC outside of the shelter. Fostering is one of the most important ways you can help the animals of Kansas City Pet Project. By providing our temporary residents shelter for just a small amount of time helps save lives.

Barn Cat Program

We see cats come through our shelter often that are feral or severely unsocialized. Those cats are eligible for adoption through our innovative Barn Cat Program. All adoptions include their spay or neuter surgery, the cats are ear tipped, and fully vetted.

Safety Net Assistance Program (SNAP)

SNAP (Safety-Net Assistance Program) is a cross generational membership program benefiting senior pets at Kansas City Pet Project. SNAP’S mission is to link generations to promote senior pet adoption through medical assistance for senior shelter pets; to support continuing companionship between seniors and their pets; and to identify and raise community awareness of the availability of senior-appropriate animals.

Pets for Patriots

KC Pet Project is a proud member of the Pets for Patriots adoption program. Pets for Patriots create unique opportunities for members of the military community to save a life by honorably adopting homeless adult dogs and cats. They support member Patriot adoptions of adult shelter pets, large dogs and special needs animals – those most in need of a loving, forever home – from any of their member shelters. To ease the financial costs associated with pet ownership, they partner with veterinarians to deliver a minimum 10% discount for the life of the adopted pet’s care. Pets for Patriots provides access to additional cost reductions for pet basics, such as food, toys and essential supplies.
